Trail Overview

This is a one-mile-long connector trail between Loop 2 and Loop 1. The trail is pretty wide the whole way, remaining easy for ATV and dirt bike riders. Its surface is smooth dirt with waterbars, minor ruts, and potential for downed logs, but no major obstacles. It's littered with pine cones, shaded by Pacific dogwood and Jeffrey Pine trees, and lined with ferns and manzanita bushes. The trail is mostly straight and fast, not very curvy, and has good visibility through the open forest. This connector parallels the northernmost section of Loop 2, only cutting off a small portion of Loop 2 when connecting to Loop 1, mostly just providing an alternate route.

Access Description

The Foresthill OHV Trail System is a popular ATV and dirt bike trail system in the Tahoe National Forest, which can be accessed from several staging areas: Sugar Pine, Parker Flat, or Brimstone. The trails can close after heavy rain, especially during fall and winter, so you should call the American River Ranger District to check for the open/closed status of the trails ahead of time. Call (530)-478-6254; extension 228 for a recording of the status. From the town of Foresthill, California, take Foresthill Road for 9 miles north, then turn left on Sugar Pine Road and follow the signs for the Sugar Pine and Parker Flat Staging Areas, which are large dirt lots accommodating trailers and RVs, with a pit toilet, picnic tables, a loading ramp, and a dumpster. The Brimstone Staging Area and Campground are accessed by taking Brimstone Road south of Sugar Pine Road. This is a very well-maintained trail system where all trails and staging areas are well marked, featuring mostly easy and intermediate trails.
